VOL. LVI. COLUMBUS, OHIO : SATURDAY, MARCH , 1867. NO. '47. THE QUIETISTS. There arc men to be found always in public life, who have no positive qualities of any sort. They are not even positively negative. They are usually to be found In the dominant party of the time, where they are carried along In the current, at froth or drift-wood. This current may carry them into office. It frequently does. But if they reach office it Is as any thing floating is carried Into a port helplessly and aimlessly. Af ter they reach it they have no more aim than before. They have but one quality, and th-rtte Inertia. They have but one desire, and that is to have no active force overcome (heir inertia. They seem to have come Into the world still-born. They exist without life, and die without any more shock to their organisms than is produced in the polypus. It 1b even doubtful whether, if one of them were chopped in two, either part would not form a perfect animal of its species, and perform all the functions of the complete man of its kind. These men look upon Government as a Hiing to be classified in Natural nistory. It eomes by nature, and must never be taken out of its genus or specie. If a man is born under one specie, he must on no account attempt cbauges. That would be contrary to nature. It Is all the same whether it be' a limited monarchy or a limited democracy. If he to bom under a monarchy, he irnwt submit to the Lord's Anointed. If it Is a democracy (so-called for there is no where In all the world ft trne democracy yet, to be born under), he must accept meekly his lot if it shonld fall with the ruling clans, or thank God for his lntlnitc mercies if it should happen to full with the disfranchised class fit only to be ruled; and in either case, must judiciously deprecate the effort of all those misguided persons who suppose governments to be Instituted among nen for the more perfect security of the right of every person governed, and that every such person has an inalienable right to a voice in the government. Borne few of the class of men described rttxta to have drifted into the Ohio Legislature. Their inertia has been sadly disturlied this winter by sundry bumps against the word white. The word white has come steaming down upon them like an armed Dunderberg, as they have laid idly soaking and rocking in the waters of the Code and the little county fee bills and the bills of all kinds framed expressly to prevent disturbance of the inertia. They huve exprfti-' WtM tt they did no, want, anything to do with this Ironclad DunderWg. ..They have ducked under the tremendous wave rolled up by this monster ; they have tried to resist them, to ride on top of them, or even to preUmd that there are no such waves. But every turn of the wheel of the ironclnd sends l.hcm bobbing about like corks. . They do not hope to be able to prevent the I Dunderberg from going where It will. They expect to be sucked Into the current find curried along with it. They do not object to this. It is entirely consonant with their desires to be carried any where with the current. But any assistance to the current would be nunaturul aud impossible. They ought not to bo blamed. Roll ou the Onnderlxirg, and they will 'be carried with the current. EwiiWiiEwt In these columns a mcmlwrof the bloody Grand Army of the Republic (uns) proposes to htg comrades the publication of "Ohio's Record in the Rebellion" at the expense of the Order, the Legislature having refused to pass the bill authorizing the work.

We have received a circular from this association, which .set forth in convincing terms the claims of this noble charity upon the country.' They say " the pressing need of the lreed-men now is, and for years to come will be, Hlucalion. They must be instructed in the various branches of knowledge taught In our schools ; and they must have an intelligent faith based upon the truths of the word of God. Their social condition Is a most lamentable one. Kept in ignorance, denied access to the Bible, subject to a system which iguored the sanctity of marriage and denied the right of the family, they have hud no true standard of virtue, and by consequence have fallen Into the grossest vices. The moral sensibilities have been blunted, the passions have been stipulated, and licentiousness has prevailed to a fearful extent. . v But these poor people, ignorant and degraded as they arc, are nowrw. ' The faith of the nation is pledged to maintain their freedom. Thus they are released from the restraints which the cupidity or the kindness of their masters formerly imposed. The nation must see to It that their freedom shall not be perverted to license. They must be llttcd to know and to enjoy the boon, lest it become a curse to them. They are now ready to be taught, and wherever schools have been opened they flock to them In great numbers. But thi desire for knowledge w ill not continue If it is not met. If wo let this opportunity slip greater ignorance and superstition will follow.The Government is now rendering invaluable aid In this work, The Freodmcn's Bu reau provides school houses and school furniture, furnishes to tenchcrs transportation hikI protection, and has a general superiu-tcudunrc of the schools. How long this aid will be rendered we cannot tell. The people of the North must send the teacher and provide means for their support. The Cleveland Freeduien's Commission is endeavoring to do its part in pushing forward this good work. It has sent into the Held an nble, though not large, corps of teachers.

By the terms of agreement with the American Missionery Association, the Commission will henceforth occupy Northern Ohio as its Held of collection. Hitherto our churches and communities have given to- different treasuries. But the Commission now assumes thu work of tllc Association on this Held, and amies uoerai coninouuons irom mi wlio appreciate the benevolent and Christian enterprise In which it is engaged. Three hundred and sixty dollars will support a teacher for one year, it is suggested that societies, auxiliary to the Commission, lie established In every church or community, each society us far as possible to take the support of a teacher. That teacher approved by the Commission, will report to such socle tr, In addition to the regular reports to the j Commission. Thus greater Interest will be i Imparted to their efforts and more good will I Ik- accomplished. Tho Commission has been mueh favored by securing the services of Rev. Edward Anderson, formerly Colonel of the 12lh Indiana Cavalry, who was the agent of the American Missionary Association for Northern Ohio. Ho will be Its Corresponding Secretary aud Agent ; and the Commission confidently commend him to the communities within the Held assigned to him. Hlso'iservutionHand experience iu the Houth, during the wnr, and his ability as a lecturer, admirably fit him for this philanthropic and Chrlsthiu service. Once heard ho will need no further recom mendation. The Commission will hereiltcr greatly en large its work If the needed funds shall be furnished. Friends of the Frci-dmen, lovers of your dearly redeemed country, followers of Him who enmc to save the lost, will you not liberally aid in this enterprise? will you not help us thiMte this emancipated 'people, and prepare them for the duties to which Ood In his providence has called them?

It Is unthorltatlvely slated that the gallant (ieneral Lc Fever, of the Ohio House of Representatives, has been nominated and continued us Consul to Ba-Uvia, lu the Island of Java. As n Democrat, ' he General may be congratulated upon his success In threading his way through a Johnsonian nomination and a Senatorial confirmation. Wo confess, however, some surprise In learning that a person of General L.'s well-known weakness for good society among the gentler sex should consider even a first class appointment a compensation for the privation to be endured by a sort of Robin son Crusoe, though voluntary banishment to i distant Island. We presume, the General will be a good bulge of coffet by the time he returns. LEGISLATIVE SUMMAEY. ; SEN ATE Thursday, March 14.

How tiib Nkokoks. will Votr. The Washington correspondent of the Ifew York Times, iu his communication of Friday lost makes sorae statements on this point which diner frota those which have come to hand lu our dispatches. Hu stijs : "The statements so confidently mudu-iu some quarters that the votes of thu freedmun in the South will be cast for the so-callad rebel ticket arc not in accordance with the information received here. The fact Is that ever since the close of the war the frtstdint-n havo neon orgmlzed lu loyal Union Leagues, through the influence of the preachers It; their churches, the Northern teachers in their schools, and thu odlcers of the Frecdmen's Bureau. Recently, si nre white loyalists of the South have adopted the negro suffrage plan of reconstruction. t'lefrcediucH's leagues lme received considerable acr ssions of members from that class, md are In many cases controlled by them. ' In Ucorsla nearly every county ha a thor-ughly organized Radical political society, lie object of which Is to sec that the freed-nen vote Hgainst the Johnson party, as it is 'idled, and throughout the whole South they ire under the sway of tho most ultra Radl-uls, and every preparation has been made y them to proceed at once to assume con-rol of the organization of the new Govern nents, when the registration of another sup-teiuentiiry Reconstruction Bill shall havu tecouie a law." It is a healthy symptom In the Republican arty when the friends of leading candidates row hot lu the Hdvocacy of their favorites. Jentlemen should remember, however, that llspraise of an opponent Is not precisely th way to secure friends. V

It Is unthorltatlvely slated that the gallant (ieneral Lc Fever, of the Ohio House of Representatives, has been nominated and continued us Consul to Ba-Uvia, lu the Island of Java. As n Democrat, ' he General may be congratulated upon his success In threading his way through a Johnsonian nomination and a Senatorial confirmation. Wo confess, however, some surprise In learning that a person of General L.'s well-known weakness for good society among the gentler sex should consider even a first class appointment a compensation for the privation to be endured by a sort of Robin son Crusoe, though voluntary banishment to i distant Island. We presume, the General will be a good bulge of coffet by the time he returns. LEGISLATIVE SUMMAEY. ; SEN ATE Thursday, March 14.

How tiib Nkokoks. will Votr. The Washington correspondent of the Ifew York Times, iu his communication of Friday lost makes sorae statements on this point which diner frota those which have come to hand lu our dispatches. Hu stijs : "The statements so confidently mudu-iu some quarters that the votes of thu freedmun in the South will be cast for the so-callad rebel ticket arc not in accordance with the information received here. The fact Is that ever since the close of the war the frtstdint-n havo neon orgmlzed lu loyal Union Leagues, through the influence of the preachers It; their churches, the Northern teachers in their schools, and thu odlcers of the Frecdmen's Bureau. Recently, si nre white loyalists of the South have adopted the negro suffrage plan of reconstruction. t'lefrcediucH's leagues lme received considerable acr ssions of members from that class, md are In many cases controlled by them. ' In Ucorsla nearly every county ha a thor-ughly organized Radical political society, lie object of which Is to sec that the freed-nen vote Hgainst the Johnson party, as it is 'idled, and throughout the whole South they ire under the sway of tho most ultra Radl-uls, and every preparation has been made y them to proceed at once to assume con-rol of the organization of the new Govern nents, when the registration of another sup-teiuentiiry Reconstruction Bill shall havu tecouie a law." It is a healthy symptom In the Republican arty when the friends of leading candidates row hot lu the Hdvocacy of their favorites. Jentlemen should remember, however, that llspraise of an opponent Is not precisely th way to secure friends. V
